Summary
  • Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first

  • Gujarat Titans posted 210-run total

  • Washington Sundar got to his maiden IPL fifty

Gujarat Titans (GT) all-rounder Washington Sundar rose to the occasion on Wednesday (April 8) with a crucial half-century against Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 14 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Titans have often been tagged as a top-heavy team with the middle-order not delivering the goods as much. Sundar played his part in altering that narrative, playing a vital knock at number four. The southpaw hit his maiden IPL fifty in his 69th overall appearance in the league, cracking six fours and two sixes.

Sundar picked the mid-wicket boundary against the spinners, especially Vipraj Nigam, who leaked 23 runs in the 12th over. The 26-year-old reached his half century with a six over deep square leg off T Natarajan.

He was the third batter to post a fifty-plus score for GT, after opener Jos Buttler and captain Shubman Gill. The trio's knocks powered the Titans to a 210-run total in Delhi.

Earlier, Capitals' skipper Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first, stating that his team had chased well and wanted to continue in the same vein. DC went in with the same playing XI as their previous game against Mumbai Indians, which the Delhi-based franchise had won by six wickets.

On the other hand, Gill replaced Kumar Kushagra in GT's only change.
